full house of worship.
The PrestYterians and Baptists are
each expecting to build large academy
buildings here this summer. The con-

A company of Greek capitalists have
purchased the "Indian Journal" and are
opening large printing establishment at
Eufaula, Greek Nation. The Journal was
formerly published at Muscogee, but the
late fire burned it out. The new COM
pany are all to be Indians or white citi-
zens by marriage. There is an open
field for strong, we'll patronized paper

the new company are thoroughly edu

LEES POVERTY,

The Nephew Of the Great General Comes to
his Defense Against a Copy -righted
Statement.
RICHMOND, VA. April Ex-Governor
Fltzhugh Lee to-day was shown q copy
righted letter by General Adam Badeau
in the New York World, in which the
writer said thatat the time "the wealth
lest families of other times were obliged
to send for the aims of the government,
and the observation-disclosures of the fallen
state who had remained or returned were
all fed from the northern stores"
Badeau's article went on to say that
he was called on to furnish General
Robert &. Lee, when be returned from
AppomattOx, with rations, and he said:
ri asked the number of the household of
the captive General, and then wrote on a
little ticket. 'The Commissary will sup
ply General Robert Z. Lee with so many
destitute ratiOns.' | could not but re
member that this modern Belisarius had
commanded armies and stood in the way
for years OF the nation whose clemenCy
and whose bread fate compelled him to
receive"
Governor Lee, commenting on the let
ter, said: 'It is all wrong. General
Badeau has been drawing largely on his
imagination or the Imagination of some
body else. When General Lee returned
from Appomattox courthouse he found his
family living in Richmond, In the house
in which he had left them.
While not living in sffluence, they were
not lacking in the necessaries of life
Shortly after his return the people of
Richmond and elsewhere We'd with ezeh
other in sending to General Lee every
thing requisite for the comfort of himself
and family, presuming that, having been
in the field, he was not able to provide,
for them as comfortably as he would
like. 'Indeed," continued the
Governor, eft was known that
the upper passage of General Lees
house was filled with barrels of flour,
meat and other things thai had been sent,
because there was no other place to put
them. 1t is matter of record that Gen
eral Lee directed his servants to dis
Tribute those things to the poor in his
neighbOrhOOd. In view of these facts it is
with difficulty that we can believe this
statement of General Adam Badeau."
